Wales 15,England 10,Ireland 9,Scotland 3


I think Ireland can be happy with its representation, most of the potential candidates made the squad, with Rory Best the obvious exception.


The team has the potential to have a good balanced between England Wales and Ireland, but don't be surprised if its more than half welsh.

I'd have liked to have seen Madigan picked as a third no.10 who can play elsewhere. I'm sorry Zebo isn't going as he's exciting to watch. The selections of Hartley & Stevens leave me cold. No Rory Best either. Too many crooked darts? Still there will be replacements even before the tour starts I bet.

Surely only because of Toulon and his not being available at the start? I think - like Robshaw - he will join the party when the inevitable injuries occur.

A few people saying Gatland likes big hookers - and he was one himself


Did he have issues with two Hookers under 17 St ?


Gatland admitted they discussed this extensively.

    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo
